9%Marriott opens first City Express hotel in India, expanding budget-friendly stays. By Iuliia Tore / Oct 18, 2026 / 3 minutes of reading Table of Contents Marriott International has introduced its City Express by Marriott brand to India with the opening of a 56-room hotel in Rajasthan, marking the midscale brand's first property in South Asia. City Express by Marriott Udaipur Nathdwara Highway is located along National Highway 58, connecting Udaipur with Nathdwara, one of the region's important religious tourism destinations. The opening was announced on October 13 and expands Marriott's offering beyond its established luxury and upscale hotels in India. The new property targets travelers seeking internationally branded accommodation at a more accessible price point, including business visitors, families and pilgrims travelling through Rajasthan. Marriott opens 56-room City Express near Udaipur. The hotel is located in Leelera, near the Udaipur-Nathdwara corridor, providing road access to the Aravalli Hills and several of Rajasthan's cultural and religious attractions. The property has 56 guestrooms designed around practical accommodation rather than extensive resort-style facilities. Rooms include air conditioning, workspaces, complimentary Wi-Fi and modern bathrooms. Guests have access to a restaurant, a 24-hour fitness centre, complimentary continental breakfast and on-site parking. Marriott's official property listing also identifies electric vehicle charging facilities. The location is approximately 35 kilometres from Maharana Pratap Airport and around 30 kilometres from Udaipur Railway Station, making it suitable for travelers combining road, rail and air journeys. Nearby attractions include Eklingji Temple, the historic Nagda temples and Shrinathji Temple in Nathdwara. Udaipur's City Palace and Lake Pichola are accessible by road for visitors extending their stay. READ MORE: City Express makes its South asian debut. City Express originated as a hotel brand focused on affordable, functional accommodation and became part of Marriott International's portfolio as the company expanded its presence in the midscale segment. Its arrival in India gives Marriott another way to compete for travelers who prioritise location, basic comforts and predictable service over luxury amenities. The launch is significant because Marriott's Indian portfolio includes several established upscale and luxury brands, while demand for internationally branded midscale hotels is increasing in regional cities and emerging travel corridors. The new property also participates in Marriott Bonvoy, allowing eligible guests to earn and redeem points according to the programme's rules. Rajasthan attracts pilgrimage and leisure travel. The Udaipur-Nathdwara corridor serves several different travel markets, combining heritage tourism in Udaipur with religious visits to Nathdwara and surrounding temples. For visitors exploring Rajasthan by road, the new City Express offers an alternative to city-centre accommodation, particularly for travelers planning visits across multiple destinations. The property is already listed on Marriott's official reservation platform, where travelers can check room rates, availability and Marriott Bonvoy offers. The October opening marks the brand's commercial debut in India rather than a future hotel signing, extending Marriott's presence in one of Asia's fastest-developing hospitality markets.

Set directly on the beach with the golf course alongside it, the project occupies a rare position between the blue of the Arabian Gulf and the green of the surrounding fairways.

Yas Island is approximately 15 minutes by road from Zayed International Airport and around 30 minutes from central Abu Dhabi. The project has been conceived around the relationship between home, nature and wellbeing. Its architecture and interiors draw inspiration from Abu Dhabi's landscape, light, craft and heritage, expressed through natural materials, tactile details and a restrained contemporary aesthetic. The design follows JW Marriott's principles of Architectural Awe, Serene Spaces, Elements of Nature and Warm Touches, creating spaces that encourage a sense of calm and connection. A comprehensive collection of resident amenities will complement the homes, including a residents' lounge, fitness centre, steam and sauna facilities, treatment and relaxation spaces, meeting spaces, golf simulator and games area, media room, children's activity area and guest suites. Together, these spaces are designed to support wellbeing, connection, leisure and everyday living. Low Ping, Group CEO of Yas Holding, said: "Our objective is to ensure JW Marriott's philosophy is integrated throughout the design and experience of the project. At TARAF, we are focused on translating that philosophy into a distinctive residential experience, from the relationship with nature and light to thoughtfully considered spaces for wellbeing and connection, while bringing the design ethos and meticulous attention to detail that define our developments." Jaidev Menezes, Regional Vice President - Mixed-Use Development, EMEA at Marriott International, said: "JW Marriott Residences extends the brand's approach to thoughtful hospitality beyond a stay and into everyday life. This marks our second collaboration with TARAF, following the sold-out W Residences Abu Dhabi - Al Maryah Island. With Abu Dhabi's first JW Marriott Residences, owners can expect a distinctive lifestyle shaped by genuine service, curated amenities and meaningful opportunities for connection, all designed to support wellbeing and enrich everyday living." Cem Habib, Steppe Capital Board Member, said:"This location brings together two of Yas Island's defining landscapes: the blue of the waterfront and the green of the fairways.
